Reiner Salzer holds the chair of Analytical Chemistry at the Technische Universität Dresden, Germany. He obtained his academic degrees from the University Leipzig, before taking up his present appointment at TU Dresden.

Professor Salzer has authored over 200 books and scientific publications and was elected into various national and international boards. He is a member of the Norwegian Academy of Sciences and a long-time advisory board member of the analytical and spectroscopic journals.

"The book provides a full overview of the potential of vibrational spectroscopy in biology, food, and pharmaceutical fields. The instrumentation, data processing, applications, and recent developments are presented. The book is clearly written in a comprehensive manner. It represents a valuable resource for everyone working in IR and/or Raman microimaging." (Anal Bioanal Chem, 2010) "An especially positive aspect of the book is the strong emphasis on practical relevance in the chapters... Recommended both to method developers and to applications practitioners in academic and industrial laboratories." ( Angewandte Chemie International Edition , February 2010)
